I have held creds for access to the airport in San Juan before. All of it.
When I went through the mandatory class, they mentioned the improper uses of the badge that would have it revoked.
Apparently, they issued a lot of them there and had a high misuse/abuse rate.
I suspect that many US airports have that problem, even post 9/11, when passenger security has been tightened, and badged people represent a bigger threat to illegally bring items into the sterile area.
There are a multitude of other ways around airport security, none of which will bne discussed here. If I had my way, all badged access employees would undergo as a minimum, the same screening as for a Secret clearance.
